At present there is no well structured database available for the venomous snakes and venom composition of snakes in the world
although venom has immense importance in biomedical research. Searching for a specific venom component from NCBI, PDB or
public databases is troublesome, because they contain huge amount of data entries. Therefore, we created a database named “ISOB”
which is a web accessible unique secondary database that represents the first online available bioinformatics resource showing
venom composition of snakes. This database provides a comprehensive overview of seventy-eight indigenous snake species
covering description of snakes supplemented with structural information of the relevant individual available venom proteins. We
strongly believe that this database will contribute significantly in the field of bioinformatics, environmental research, proteomics,
drug development and rationale drug designing.AvailabilityThe database is freely available at http://www.snakebd.com/
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
